![]() There’s nothing remarkably wrong with it nor are there any large flaws beyond character likeability (a subjective area, anyway). There’s a villain who is suitably villainous, a spy, a djinn, and lots and lots of travel. It is a fairly entertaining, suspense-filled tale of a dragon’s search for a home and the people, animals, and magical creatures that help him along the way. Rating: 3/5 Dragon Rider is not a bad book by any means. Along the way, they will discover allies in odd places, courage they didn’t know they had, and a hidden destiny that changes everything. Together they embark on a journey that takes them to magical lands where they meet marvelous creatures-and one ruthless villain. Firedrake, Ben, and their furry friend, Sorrel, are in search of the mythical place where dragons can live in peace forever. ![]() Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke, was published in 2004 by Chicken House. ![]()
